Shell Philippines Turns 3 Metric Tons of Plastic Waste Into Bike Racks for Sustainable Mobility Project

0

Shell Philippines has delivered a set of 110 bike racks made from 3,000 kg of plastic waste around Metro Manila and Southern Luzon as part of a unique activation to help encourage sustainable mobility and spotlight the power of the circular economy.

The Philippines has been hard hit by the plastic waste crisis which threatens the health of our planet.  The country’s Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Act, which requires large companies to recover 40% of their plastic packaging footprint in 2024, aims to encourage a circular economy for plastics to ensure waste doesn’t end up in nature.

Shell Philippines bought plastic credits from PCX Markets,a responsibility platform that offers upstream solutions and helps fund plastic pollution cleanup projects around the world.  One credit enables the collection and processing of 1,000 kilograms of plastic waste by project partners listed on PCX Markets. This purchase supports the work of EFT Philippines, an SME based in Davao that upcycles plastic waste into various items such as outdoor furniture.

Funds raised by credit sales helped EFT Philippines expand collection and purchase more plastic waste from informal sector waste pickers through aggregators, such as junk shops..  Shell went on to purchase upcycled bike racks from EFT, helping fund the entire circular journey of plastic waste, from collection through to processing and finally, through the purchase of the end product.

Shell unveiled the project on October 24, 2024 including the first prototype, as part of the company’s Sustainability Week event in Manila. The first 55 bike racks was installed in various Shell Mobility sites in Q1 of 2025, and another 55 will be deployed within the the 3rd quarter of 2025.

Shell supports the need for improved circularity of plastics markets and globally aims to increase the amount of recycled plastic in Shell-branded packaging to 30% by 2030 and ensure that the packaging used in their products is reusable or recyclable. The company’s approach to sustainability is integrating sustainable practices in every aspect of the business, from its operations to customer interactions. 

In the Philippines, Shell has partnered with PCX Markets to develop a downstream plastic diversion program that helps fund several recycling, upcycling, and social impact projects to help keep plastic out of nature. 

Future-Proofing Business and Finances:Sun Life Launches Retirement Solution for Business Owners

0

Preparing for retirement is a crucial aspect in building one’s financial portfolio. It is especially important for business owners who aspire to enjoy their golden years without solely depending on their business for income.

According to a study commissioned by Sun Life, six out of 10 business owners are already planning to retire as part of their medium-term goals. However, majority are preparing their finances for retirement through traditional ways such as bank savings accounts and government contributions, with some considering investment options.

“We want to help business owners achieve their retirement goals by providing an alternative solution that can address this specific financial need,” Sun Life Philippines Client Segment Marketing Head Cary Casipit said.

In line with this, Sun Life of Canada (Philippines), Inc. has launched the Sun Life FlexiRetire to provide business owners with the flexibility to set up their retirement plan at their desired age with their preferred annual retirement benefit and payout period.

Sun Life FlexiRetire is a new and innovative option of Sun Life Secure Income, a participating, limited-pay whole life insurance product that provides guaranteed annual cash benefits equal to 6% of the face amount starting at the end of the 6th policy year until age 100.

With the Sun Life FlexiRetire option, the annual guaranteed cash payouts and the potential dividends earned can be accumulated until the Client’s pre-determined retirement age. Once the retirement age has been reached, the cash benefit will be paid annually, within the Client’s chosen payout period.

“This can serve as an additional income stream for business owners during their retirement years, independent from the funds tied to their company. It can help ensure a smoother succession process, as it helps future-proof their business for generations to come,”
Casipit said.

Those interested in availing of the Sun Life FlexiRetire may get in touch with their Sun Life
advisor or connect with one via www.sunlife.co/Talk-To-An-Advisor. For more information,

Jean Henri Lhuillier: Bridging Technology, Community, and Inclusive Growth

Jean Henri’s Silver Stevie® Award for Thought Leader of the Year recognizes his visionary leadership in transforming Cebuana Lhuillier into the Philippines’ largest micro-financial services provider. Under his guidance, microfinance goes beyond isolated products to become a fully integrated ecosystem that promotes financial wellness, inclusive growth, and social impact by combining technology, community engagement, and strategic innovation.

From a single pawnshop, Jean Henri has built an expansive ecosystem that now empowers over 27 million Filipinos at every stage of their financial journey. This includes immediate bridge financing for urgent needs, accessible micro-savings to build resilience, affordable insurance protecting families, business support through the KaNegosyo Center, and inclusive investment opportunities in retail gold and jewelry. Every part of the ecosystem is designed to meet Filipinos where they are and uplift their financial capabilities.

Central to his leadership is the TechBrick strategy, an approach that merges Cebuana Lhuillier’s physical network of over 3,500 branches nationwide with digital platforms like the eCebuana app and AI-powered tools. This hybrid model delivers financial services with accessibility and convenience, ensuring no Filipino, regardless of where they are, is left behind.

Since its launch in January 2024, Money Guro has grown to over 1.17 million followers, with more than 39 million views on Facebook and 55 million on TikTok. Featuring 236 episodes across 10 engaging formats—including popular series like “May Tanong?”, “JHL Tips,” and “Di Siguro”—Money Guro transforms personal finance from a complex topic into an empowering daily habit, fostering a more financially resilient Filipino population ready to navigate challenges and seize opportunities.

KaNegosyo Center: Democratizing Access to Business Ownership

Jean Henri Lhuillier’s inclusive approach to financial empowerment extends beyond individuals—it scales to the very lifeblood of the Philippine economy: micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), which account for 99.5% of all businesses nationwide. Under his direction, Cebuana Lhuillier launched the KaNegosyo Center (KNC), a groundbreaking initiative and Gold Stevie® winner for Innovative Management in Financial Industries. KNC redefines how entrepreneurs access capital, training, permits, and compliance—removing roadblocks and opening doors to sustainable growth.

Through practical bundles like “Simula” and “Paglago,” KNC offers a clear pathway for Filipinos to start, register, and grow their businesses. Since its debut in June 2023, the platform has empowered over 1 million entrepreneurs and generated more than 31 million views of its business coaching modules, nurturing a vibrant community of 900,000 members across 82 provinces.

It provides business coaching, tax filing assistance, financing access, and connections to government services through partnerships with DTI, TESDA, and BIR. Backed by the support of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., KNC stands as a cornerstone of Cebuana Lhuillier’s broader micro-financial ecosystem—equipping Filipino entrepreneurs with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to thrive.

Looking Ahead: A Vision for Inclusive Growth

“Creating lasting social impact requires continuous innovation and listening to the needs of Filipinos nationwide,” added Jean Henri. “Our vision is clear—to democratize access to financial services and business ownership so every Filipino, no matter their background, can participate in the country’s economic growth and build a better future.” With these Stevie Awards, Cebuana Lhuillier reinforces its commitment to driving meaningful change for all Filipinos.
